Glastonbury in June
Great time to visit
June IS Glastonbury - the legendary festival transforms this sleepy town into the center of the music universe. Come for the festival or stay far away.
Weather
June brings the warmest weather of the year with highs around 21°C and pleasant nights at 11°C. Rain averages just 5 days, though festival week can see dramatic weather swings. When it's good, it's absolutely golden.

All Months
Glastonbury happens once every few years – usually in late June when the summer solstice energy is still buzzing. The 2026 dates haven't been officially announced, but expect the last weekend of June based on previous patterns. Weather is completely unpredictable. I've seen blazing sun and torrential rain in the same afternoon. The festival takes a fallow year every fifth year to let the land recover, so when tickets go on sale, grab them. They sell out in under an hour. Registration opens months before ticket sales – sign up early. The gates open Wednesday afternoon, and smart festival-goers arrive early to set up camp before the crowds. Sunday night is when the magic really happens – smaller crowds, intimate performances, and that bittersweet feeling of the weekend ending.
